(1) The logical record for the School District file
consists of 120 characters of geographical identification followed by
26 16-character tally fields and 878 8-character tally fields followed
by 96 characters of padding. The file is sorted within state in
ascending sequence of 5-digit school district codes. Where school
districts cross county lines, school district total and county
component records appear separately. In these cases, the school
district total record precedes its county component records, which are
sorted by 1970 FIPS county code. School districts with populations of
less than 1,000 persons are combined in the code category 99999. (2)
